My Harris Poll Vote – From the Bird’s Nest

With so many teams having a week off this week, there's not a huge shakeup in my rankings. I did move a couple of teams up or down this week depending on their performances, but the only big drops we a couple of teams that lost. Texas Tech will have to earn its way back in after giving up 50-plus at home for their second straight loss. And Virginia Tech lost its second straight and they are goneski. Notre Dame is in my poll for the first time, as is Texas, who is actually leading the Big 12. Here you go:

1. Alabama

2. Florida State

3. Oregon

4. Ohio State

5. Baylor

6. Stanford

7. Clemson

8. LSU

9. Auburn

10. Missouri

11. Miami (FL)

12. Louisville

13. Oklahoma

14. Texas A&M

15. Oklahoma State

16. Fresno State

17. South Carolina

18. UCF

19. Northern Illinois

20. UCLA

21. Michigan St.

22. Wisconsin

23. Arizona State

24. Notre Dame

25. Texas

This week is the best in college football so far this season. Besides the Cajuns and Troy, Oklahoma takes on Baylor, while Oregon is at Stanford. And then there's this game in Tuscaloosa on Saturday......
